Okay, so this probably isn't recommended, but I wore my old tatty pair of Vivobarefoot Lucy's to participate in a game of Battlefield Live at the weekend (Laser guns, combat camouflage gear, woodland location, two teams of eight, very competitive, lots of fun.)

The shoes didn't provide me with the greatest grip, and I did get a bramble thorn or two poke me in the side of the foot, but otherwise I had fun! (And was amused at some of the regular shoe-wearing participants complaining how their feet were aching after scrambling up and down slopes and skidding around in the dirt. Apart from the brambles my feet felt just fine. My backside however is perhaps a little bit bruised from throwing myself on the floor a few times to avoid enemy fire...!
